      2.2.6, still problems.

      FW rules, on top of the screen of course:

      1. 192.168.2.40 goes to geenstijl.nl -> use gateway PIA VPN.
      2. System/advanced: skip rules when gateway is down: checked.
      3. Disable PIA VPN: 2.40 happily goes to geenstijl.nl.

      The opposite is also true: all kinds of sites that are NOT in an alias to catch it via policy routing, simply go via the VPN they should not go through.

      route-nopull was added 18 months ago.

      It still seems pfsense is randomly deciding whether or not it will send traffic via the VPN; sometimes it sends traffic it shouldn't send, and vice versa.

      6 and a half billion people know that they are stupid, agressive, lower life forms.

        Created new screen shots.

        I'm sure it is not a bug, but if somebody can explain to me why the top 1 rule in FW is not followed, I'd be obliged.

          Have you enabled logging for each of the rules with a meaningful description so you can diagnose?

          There can be several reasons why imo.

          The route no-pull is not working. The syntax for that command can be variable so try with the space rather than hyphen.

          Also whether you are double NATing somehow. I had a replay situation at one point which meant the packets went  through the firewall twice with unexpect d results. The logging will diagnose that. My state table was in the thousands also.

          Also whether your netmasks are correct. You might intend one host but by /24 masking it you may let the whole subnet through etc. just do an audit of your netmasks for any mismatches.

          Finally that you have ipv4/v6 attention and protocols set correctly.

            I cant be bothered to read a zillion lines of text.

            1. assign an interface to ovpn if you havent already.
            2. activate route-no-pull checkbox. If the checkbox is not there due to the ancient release you are running: enter it in adv field.

            If 1&2 dont help then post a screenshot of the routing table.

            Veel plezier.  ;)
